Today I went for a little walk even though I didn't feel like it. The walk was not my usual nature walk but to the town because we had to buy something. Actually I had wanted to go hiking but then it started to rain, so we had to change plans. Still better than nothing.

Also ate some cake I made right before the challenge started, not sure if it counts as the baking therefore.

April Days of Productivity - 1/30

The day began early with the sound of the alarm. Daily morning routines followed. After finishing the work I finally went on a walk again, under unexpectedly bright sunshine after days of rain. The river had risen, carrying the memory of continuous downpours, while everything around seemed washed into soft green tones; leaves appeared almost luminous. Cows grazed lazily, dogs wandered and two ran freely in play. At the open stretch ahead, a black kite cut across the sky. The wind carried a gentle warmth and by the time the walk ended, the sun had fully settled in. It felt like a good decision to have gone.

The afternoon moved through small, steady tasks. During breaks, I watched Laputa: Castle in the Sky. There was a pause to sit with Alice as she drifted to sleep (poor baby has been needing all the sleep she can get).
